Best way to keep your hands warm?

**dreaded_snowman** · 10-20-2006 04:53 PM

Not sure if there's been a thread about this, but what's the best solution in these 5 degree days for keeping the hands warm? I'm not talking rain here - if it's raining and 5 degrees, you're pretty much done for.

I have a pair of standard rain gloves, and they work well in +10 with rain. I have a hell of a time at +5 keeping my hands warm enough, and when I loose the feel in my hands, I start to blade the ball like crazy, because I squeeze tighter to get some feeling back...

So what kind of gloves are the best? Best balance between having some feeling/sensation, and maintaining warmth?

If you have the idea gloves, where'd you get 'em?

If its really cold a set of pocket warmers do the trick nicely between shots. Two gloves is a must.

I just bring winter gloves and throw em on between shots.

A great big pair of wolly mits,big enough so you can slip over youre golf glove.
Get the ones with the flip open tops,leather palms.

Mitts--wool mitts----preferably the ones with the silk liner--check out T&L----but no gloves!

I wondered how long it would take!

Pockets.

Since I always walk/carry I always have my hands in my jacket pockets walking to my ball. They stay nice and toasty.

I can't imagine riding a cart in this kind of weather.

Oh yeah, tee-time at 9:24 tomorrow AM.

You laugh, but last fall I pought a paie of PING mittens over at Chateau Cartier... the damned things were the size of oven mitts but they let me feel the grip and club properly and they were so warm

Pought a paie? Vhat the heck?

**Golfbum** · 10-20-2006 08:45 PM

I have a pair of big slip on mitts. They are easy to get off and on and are warm.
Now a friend of mine has the same thing basically, except his velcro onto the handle of his 3 wheel cart. So all he has to do is slip his hands in and out of them. no messing around. You can buy them at golf stores. I have seen them for around $22 Cnd

It's 2 for 1 season. Bring your wife, walk hand in hand with her, best way to make up for whole Summer of neglecting chores..

**dreaded_snowman** · 10-20-2006 09:21 PM

Anybody have any experience with the Nike cold and wet weather gloves?

My wife plays, but the temperatures have gone well beyond her tolerance level.

I've tried them only at golftown, solf and good grip. My buddy said for the same price try the football receiver glove, a bit thicker but very warm and durable.

I don't think when they made those, they thought people would use them while swinging the club. I think you're supposed to use them BETWEEN shots.

**ktikat** · 10-20-2006 11:34 PM

used to be nice woolly gloves between shots and a touque

....Hubby came home with a pair of Footjoy winterSof gloves with thinsulate today...I'll post the outcome tomorrow when I freeze my butt off

**golfantasic** · 10-22-2006 11:36 PM

Just how big are your hands?

I know the camera adds ten pounds, but geez, these are your hands we're talking about.

They look the same as the Ping ones...I can't imagine ever swinging with those.

My hands are that big, don't ever mess with me

BTW, you DO NOT WEAR THESE WHILE YOU SWING.

**KickerOfElves** · 10-24-2006 12:59 AM

I learned from Steelhead fishing in Dec/Jan/Feb that the number one way to keep your hands warm is to keep the rest of you warm...especially your head. You lose a lot of heat from your head. Often a togue will save enough body heat that your hands are warm enough.

If not, the first step would be to try wearing fingerless gloves so you can retain at least a little dexterity.
